David's 8 Layer Dip

This is one of my very favorite dips! I got the recipe from my brother in law David, who makes it for family get-togethers. It is SO good! It feeds a lot of people so it's great to take to barbecues, church activities, etc. I just made it yesterday to take to my good friend's daughter's graduation party. It is a lot like a 7 layer dip, but the extra layer that David adds, the chopped eggs, puts this dip over the top and makes it so yummy!

David's 8 Layer Dip

2, 9 oz containers Spicy Bean Dip (I used Frito Hot Bean Dip, found in stores by the chips)
14 oz guacamole (spicy or regular, I used Wholly Guacamole)
16 oz sour cream
3 large ripe tomatoes or 5-6 ripe plum tomatoes, diced
1 small can sliced olives, drained
9 green onions, sliced
1 dozen eggs, boiled and chopped
salt & pepper
Mrs. Dash seasoning blend
2-3 cups shredded cheese (I used a cheddar jack blend)
tortilla chips (for serving)

You can make this dip on a large platter or in a 9x13 or 11x17 baking dish (I always use a big glass platter). Spread the bean dip so it's about 1/4 inch thick on the bottom of the platter. Spread guacamole on top of the bean dip. Spread sour cream on top of the guacamole. Sprinkle diced tomatoes evenly over the sour cream. Sprinkle sliced olives evenly over the tomatoes. Sprinkle sliced green onions over the olives, you may not use all the green onions.

In a bowl, combine chopped eggs with salt, pepper, and Mrs. Dash to taste. Sprinkle seasoned chopped eggs in an even layer over the green onions, again you will probably not use all the chopped eggs. Top with shredded cheese in a nice thick layer. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with tortilla chips.
